Barracudas Enjoy Most Fan-Friendly Schedule in Team History

July 17, 2006 - SPHL (SPHL)
Jacksonville Barracudas News Release


The Southern Professional Hockey League has released it's 2006-2007 schedule, and the Jacksonville Barracudas are pleased to present their schedule of home games, beginning on Saturday, November 4th, against the defending champion Knoxville Ice Bears.

The Barracudas schedule is especially fan and family friendly this season, with 22 of the team's 28 games occurring on a weekend. The Barracudas will enjoy 12 Friday night games, 9 Saturday night games, and 1 Sunday afternoon game, compared with just 6 weeknight games all played on Tuesday evenings.

"The schedule has been a big challenge for the team for the past two seasons, so picking up a schedule with predominantly weekend games is a huge boost to the organization," said Barracudas General Manager Gilles Richard. "We felt it was important to the franchise's success to have primarily weekend games, and the league has delivered for us."

The Barracudas will also benefit from playing most of their games after January 1st, a time when attendance typically increases.

"It's no secret that football dominates the fall months here in Jacksonville," said Richard. "Having most of our games after January 1st allows us to avoid competing head-to-head with football for most of our games, as we've had to do in the past."

The Barracudas plan on releasing a promotional schedule in the near future, detailing the themes and promotions that will be taking place on each game of the 2006-2007 season. This will give fans ample time to plan for these big nights.

All games are played at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena, and will start at 7:05pm. The only exception to this is on Sunday, February 11th, which will begin at 2:30. The complete SPHL schedule can be viewed on the Barracudas website.
